[rabbitmq-discuss] Possible to keep consumed messages for certain period time (to replay..etc)

Thu Mar 8 09:25:58 GMT 2012

Hi,

   I am wondering in Rabbit MQ, can consumed messages be kept for certain
period of time, so that it can be replayed later?

According to the doc:

:when should the AMQP broker remove messages from queues? The AMQP 0-9-1
specification proposes two choices:

   - After broker sends a message to an application (using either
   basic.deliver or basic.get-ok AMQP methods).
   - After the application sends back an acknowledgement (using basic.ack AMQP
   method).

(http://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/amqp-concepts.html)

It seems not possible to do so. Basically what we need is :

1)  User to decide when to remove message from queue

2)  Replay message that has been consumed.

Is Rabbit MQ suitable tool for such requirements?

Thanks
